DEVICE FOR CLEANING WINDOWS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 767,650, dated August 16, 1904. Application filed March 22, 1904. Serial No. 199,339- (No model.)

T0 all whom, it puny concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES LEVY, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at NewYork, in the county of New York and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Cleaning indows, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. r

This invention relates to devices for washing and cleaning or drying windows; and the object thereof is to provide an improved device of this class which is simple in construction and operation and which may be conveniently manipulated for the purpose specified.

The invention is fully disclosed in the followingspecification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved window cleaning device; Fig. 2, a side view thereof, and Fig. 3 a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

In the practice of my invention I provide a handle member a, to one end of which is secured a frame 6, having two parallel side portions Z2 and b, with one ofwhich is connected a brush 0, the other side portion, If, being adapted to hold towels or similar devices 0.

In the. form of construction shown the frame 6 is composed of strong spring-wire, and the separate side portions 6 and b are connected by transverse members f, and said side portions are connected with the handle a by side wires g, which converge in the direction of said handle, as clearly shown in the drawings.

The brush 0 in the form of construction shown is provided with a back 0 having top and bottom grooves 0 and end grooves 0*, and the side 6 of the frame is composed of a top wire cl and end wires 0 provided with inwardly-directed loops 0. The back 0 of the brush 0 is also provided with notches or recesses 0 and the transverse members f of the frame are passed in these notches or-recesses c and are coiled around the end part 0" of the portion 7/ of the frame 7), as shown at f and a transverse rod 7L, parallel with the top part 0* of the frame portion 6 is mounted on the side wires g below the brush and forms a part of the portion 71 of the frame Z; and is'held on the said wires g by loops or bends formed therein, and whenever it is desired to secure the. brush in position the wire or rod 5 is moved downwardly and the back of the brush is sprung into position, as

suspended from the wires 6* and If, and the wire 6* is preferably projected slightly beyond the wire 6".

In practice the brush 0 is used in the usual manner for washing a window, and the towels e are wound in any desired manner on the parts 7) and 7) and are used to mop or dry the window.

My invention is in no way limited to the exact details of the construction of the frame 6, which supports or holds the brush 0 and the towels e, and various modifications of said frame may evidently be made, the only object in this connection being to provide a frame or holder of the general form shown which will support a brush at one side and towels at the other or with one side of which a brush may be connected and to the opposite side of which towels or similar devices may be secured.

It will be observed that the top portion of the frame 6 is rectangular in form, while the bottom portion thereof is pyramidal, and the brush and'towels are supported by the opposite sides of the top portion of the frame.

Having fully described my invention, what 1 claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a device of the. class described, a towel and brush holder, comprising a rectangular frame one side of which is composed of parallel top and bottom wires and parallel end wires, the bottom wire of said side being movable toward and from the top wire thereof and adapted to hold a brush in said side, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a device of the class described, a towel and brush holder, comprising a rectangular frame one side of which is composed of parallel top and bottom wires and parallel end wires, the bottom wire of said side being movable toward and from the top Wire thereof and adapted to hold a brush in said side, and a brush provided with parallel top and bottom and parallel end grooves, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a device of the class described, a

day of March, 1904.
